Problem connecting to a specific joystick

[wjxway]

Hi! I've been encountering issues when trying to connect to a specific device. While I can connect to my joystick and print out the address if I write:

XboxSeriesXControllerESP32_asukiaaa::Core xboxController;
...
xboxController.begin();
...
xboxController.onLoop();
...
Serial.println("Address: " + xboxController.buildDeviceAddressStr());

It does not seem to work if I write the following instead.

XboxSeriesXControllerESP32_asukiaaa::Core xboxController("aa:1b:8d:83:af:00");

Is this a bug and how can I diagnose it? I'm using ESP32-S3 with xbox series X controller flashed with appropriate firmware.

Thanks a lot!

Hi! It seems that this is an issue with the address string.
It turns out that what needs to be input is the BLE address of the device instead of the MAC(?) address of the device.
Just use windows device manager to view the Bluetooth device of your joystick and put it in the constructor, but do not use what buildDeviceAddressStr prints out.
